Well, renovators, you missed your chance

too late!

The house and garage at 3 Chimnoy Avenue, Byram, have been torn down, and only the spacious grounds remain.

Back in 2005, the listing for this property offered “An AMAZING OPPORTUNITY TO RENOVATE EXISTING SINGLE FAMILY HOME”, and that exuberant clarion call paid off: the asked-for price of $529,000 was bid up to $550,000, and while there were those of us who questioned the wisdom, if not the sanity of the winning bidder, he must have been happy, because he’s held on to it all these years.

Until April ‘21, when he — doubtless reluctantly — put it back up for sale at $599,000. The house remained, but the suggestion about its appeal to renovators was missing. Now the property has returned to the MLS, at $499,000, but without the house. Byram’s gain is your loss.

this could have been yours as recently as last January but did you grab it? you did not.

even the “garaging for two limousines” is no more
